Konstruktor Kid

First roll with my Konstruktor. I found the shooting process with this camera pretty bizarre, due to the inverted viewfinder, the focus ring that really doesn't seem to do much, the mirror-reset lever that you have to remember to flick after each shot, and the winding mechanism that clicks and clacks and sounds like it's ripping your sprockets. Plus, it being a completely DIY camera, there's no way of knowing whether you assembled everything properly until you get some shots out of it. So I really wasn't expecting much with this first test roll, but... well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Let's just say I'm definitely a Konstruktor Konvert! :-)
